jags trash every thing i just through plastic plants in now for the male to throw around lol
i love this type of set up because it stops plants spreading so you get natural open areas, my dovii tank is complete slate and my jag is half rocks half sand with a lump of slate between the two areas the female has hides in the rocks and my marble has an over hang in there where he hangs out, that tank above is only a 30G apisto tank im working on (still gonna add more plants, formations and leaf litter). my cat tank is set up the same way but i have a lot more java in that to provide cover. nearly all my tanks have water lettuce and duck weed now lol.
Sorry for the thread hijack
Neil setting a large tank up in this way also cuts cost a bit because large areas can be covered with slate (i used reclaimed roof tiles or paving slate ) and its cheap as chip to buy, i got the slate to do my 180G for under £5 and still using some of it for other tanks. you only need sand and gravel for smaller areas. if you ever cardiff airport way your more than welcome to call in for a brew and a browse.
